In this episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, Jon LaClare sits down with Hank Cheatham to explore what it really takes to build and scale a supplement brand in one of the most competitive—and skeptical—categories on the market.With a background rooted in a Japanese pharmaceutical company, Hank shares how Daiwa Health Development brought a unique brain health supplement to the U.S., powered by a specialized ingredient designed to support memory and cognitive function. But beyond the product itself, this conversation dives into the bigger picture: why scientific validation, quality standards, and strategic channel expansion are essential for long-term success.You'll learn how an aging global population is driving demand for cognitive health solutions, why most supplements lack meaningful testing, and how clinical studies can become a powerful differentiator in a crowded marketplace.

Most financial advisors will tell you to save more and invest wisely. Mark Rasner will tell you that's not enough. After 32 years of watching people succeed and fail financially, he has the track record to back it up.Mark grew up poor on a dairy farm in Upper Michigan, worked his way through college without taking a single student loan, and watched his father transform from a struggling farmer into a financial advisor who changed people's lives. That backstory didn't just shape who Mark is. It became the foundation for The Group A Mindset, a framework built on one core insight: the difference between people who achieve financial freedom and those who don't is rarely about income. It's about mindset, decision-making, and the habits we either build or avoid for decades.In this conversation, Mark walks us through the Group A and Group B framework, the psychology of financial self-sabotage, and why even high-earning professionals often find themselves stuck. He shares client stories, his own personal transformation through Ironman triathlon training, and the practical tools he uses to help people make a genuine shift.About Mark Rasner Mark Rasner, CFP®, ChFC®, CASL®, APMA™, BFA™ is a financial advisor and wealth coach with over 32 years of experience in financial planning and leadership development.

After building a successful practice in the Midwest, Mark merged his business with a national advisory team, where he now leads Midwest growth and advisor development.

What happens when you spend 10 years at Amazon, love your job, love your team and then parenthood shakes everything up?That's the story of Jane Dashevsky. Becoming a mom of two under two made her start asking the big questions: What do I really want for myself? For my family? That entrepreneurial spark she'd carried deep down finally pushed her to walk away from stability and build something of her own.Jane is now the founder of The Starter Set, an AI-powered service that helps parents cut through the chaos of baby product shopping. Because let's be honest, the last thing overwhelmed parents need is another late-night Google spiral about strollers.In this episode, Jane gets real about:Leaving a steady job after a decade at AmazonThe identity shift that comes with walking away from stabilityParenting while building a startup (the real messy middle)Testing ideas piece by piece and finding her way in Seattle's startup worldHow to not let numbers or social media dictate your worthThis is a conversation about courage, resilience, and choosing yourself, and your family, even when the path ahead is messy and unclear.

Meet Britta Buchholz, the visionary entrepreneur who's flipping the script on how kids interact with technology through her groundbreaking app, Kidoo.After watching her young children memorize complex passcodes to access their iPads while homework sat untouched, Britta had her lightbulb moment. What if those same devices that captivated children's attention could become powerful educational tools? What if kids had to answer educational questions to unlock their entertainment apps?Drawing from her extensive experience running the Boomerang Group, a philanthropic consulting firm serving high-profile clients like Steve Aoki and Cesar Millan, Britta took the entrepreneurial leap. Despite having no background in tech development, she followed her instincts and pursued her vision with unwavering determination."I didn't even tell my husband for a few months later that I had started this company with this guy, that I had never met with this whimsical idea, that I had to invent an app which I had no clue about the technology industry," Britta shares with refreshing candor. Her journey wasn't without challenges – from facing critical feedback from early testers to navigating the technical complexities of app development and finding the courage to release a minimum viable product rather than waiting for perfection.The result? A transformative tool that parents everywhere have been waiting for. Kidoo seamlessly integrates learning into screen time by requiring children to complete educational challenges before accessing entertainment apps. Unlike traditional educational apps that require parental navigation, Kidoo makes learning the gateway to entertainment, leveraging children's natural motivation to use devices.Whether you're a parent struggling with screen time battles, an entrepreneur considering taking the leap, or simply fascinated by innovative solutions to modern challenges, this conversation offers valuable insights into both the practical aspects of startup development and the mindset required to bring transformative ideas to life. The future of family technology might just look brighter thanks to visionaries like Britta who dare to question the status quo.How to connect with Britta?Website: https://keydo.io/ Ready to scale your Amazon business?

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Tim Siegel, co-founder of Team Luke Hope for Minds, for a powerful father-to-father conversation about brain injury, hope, and turning tragedy into purpose. Tim, a former Texas Tech tennis coach, had just resigned to spend more time with his family when his 9-year-old son Luke suffered a devastating golf cart accident resulting in cardiac arrest and severe brain injury.Despite doctors saying Luke would never move, speak, or open his eyes, Tim became his son's primary caregiver and relentless advocate. Through six years of intensive therapies and unwavering love, Luke defied medical predictions. Although Luke passed away from COVID-19 in 2021, his legacy lives on through Team Luke Hope for Minds, which now serves families in 47 states with financial support, education, and hope.This conversation explores the intersection of parental advocacy, cutting-edge neuroscience, and how one family's journey has created a movement helping thousands of families navigate pediatric brain injuries.------Links & Resources:Sign up for the Making Connections Conference HERE.Help a family in need with travel expenses to the conference HEREThe links to Tim's books he mentioned in the podcast:  It's In God's Hands on Amazon Fight Like Luke on AmazonThe link to youtube: A Father a son & their saints (also mentioned in the podcast):ESPN Special: A father, a son, & their saints: Luke Siegel's story had an impact on Drew Brees | NFL CountdownFollow them on on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn!------Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - Tim's Background: From Texas Tech tennis coach to full-time father([00:08:00]) - Luke's Story: The golf cart accident and devastating medical prognosis([00:11:00]) - The Breakthrough: Luke responds to the New Orleans Saints' question([00:13:00]) - August 2021: Luke's passing and the journey toward forgiveness([00:18:00]) - Parallel Paths: Dr. Tony shares Oliver's birth injury story([00:25:00]) - Fighting the System: "I don't give a damn about an MRI"([00:27:00]) - Team Luke Hope for Minds: Supporting families across 47 states([00:33:00]) - The Therapy Approach: Combining traditional and alternative treatments([00:38:00]) - Making Connections Conference: October 24-25 in Austin([00:44:00]) - Luke's Legacy: Books, documentary, and continuing impact-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Ready to scale your Amazon business? Click here to book a strategy call.  https://calendly.com/firingtheman/amazonThe difference between struggling to get responses and filling your calendar with qualified leads often comes down to one thing: how you structure your offer. Perrin Monker, Principal at RevAscension.io, reveals the counterintuitive psychology that drives successful cold outreach campaigns.Most entrepreneurs make a critical mistake when reaching out to prospects - they position themselves at the center of their messaging. "This is what I do and why I'm great" rarely moves the needle. What actually works is flipping the script to center everything around your prospect's desired business outcomes. As Perrin explains, "We want to be humble when we come up with go-to-market strategies...look at the competition, see what other sharks are in the water."Beyond crafting compelling offers, this episode dives deep into the technical aspects of cold email that most marketers get wrong. We debunk common myths (like the value of tracking open rates) and reveal why sending fewer emails from more accounts dramatically improves deliverability. You'll discover why asking for a prospect's time is fundamentally flawed compared to generating interest - a resource that, unlike time, is infinite and can be created through strategic messaging.Whether you're trying to reach e-commerce businesses, SaaS clients, or any B2B audience, Perrin shares the frameworks that have filled calendars for businesses across industries. From prospect list building techniques to the surprising truth about CTAs that actually work, this conversation will transform how you approach outreach.Ready to stop guessing what works in cold email? Visit RevAscension.io to see how data-driven frameworks can create predictable lead generation for your business.

Welcome to Compromising Positions! The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats! This week we are joined by Dr David Burkus, one of the world's leading business thinkers and best-selling author of five books on the topic of business and leadership. Dr Burkus has worked with the leadership teams of some internationally known names such as PepsiCo, Adobe and NASA.In this episode, “It's a Wonderful Hack! Building a high-performance cybersecurity team“, we discuss the three elements of the “Team Culture Triad”: common understanding, psychological safety and prosocial purpose, and how these elements are the backbone of every successful team.We delve into how interpersonal trust is a reciprocal process, that trust needs to be met with respect and an open mind, and how we can build a culture that learns from mistakes and people feel safe to challenge at all levels in the business.We also discuss how being part of a team is more like chess than checkers. We can't treat all people like they have the same skills or ways of working, we're a team yes, but it's a team of individuals.And the “It's a Wonderful Life” test. A brilliant thought experiment to show the impact of your team's contributions, which may not always be tied to revenue.Key Takeaways:Try a Little Tenderness: Empathy is important, but it's not just about feeling someone else's pain. To truly collaborate effectively, you need to understand your teammates on a deeper level, including their unique strengths, weaknesses, and working styles. By achieving this common understanding, you can anticipate their responses and adjust your approach to optimize teamwork.Hey Boss, your Idea Sucks: When was the last time someone in your team challenged your decision? If it was a while ago, you might want to take a look if you're building a team that fosters psychological safety. Developing Pro-Social Purpose: A team that prioritizes collective success over individual gain fosters a collaborative environment. When team members are driven by a common purpose, they're more likely to support each other and work towards shared goals. This sense of purpose strengthens the team and empowers individuals to contribute their best work.It's a Wonderful Life: Imagine if your cybersecurity team didn't exist. What would the consequences be? While this exercise helps you identify potential negative impacts, it's equally important to consider the positive contributions your team makes.Links to everything we discussed in this episode can be found in the show notes and if you liked the show, please do leave us a review.

In this episode, Katie speaks with Jay Blades, a modern furniture restorer, upcycler and eco designer who is passionate about sustainability and community. We discuss his history with furniture restoration, the importance of investing in the next generation of creators, why helping people you may never meet truly matters and lots more. Jay Blades is now best known for presenting the BBC's Money for Nothing, The Repair Shop and most recently Jay and Dom's Home Fix.  I've known Jay for a long time, so it was lovely to catch up with him for a proper conversation about a subject that is so close to both of our hearts. We discuss:Jay's earliest memory of repairing things. Jay's former non-profit Out of the Dark and teaching young people to repair and restore old furniture. The reason future proofing is so important. The end of his marriage, his experience with homelessness and how he came back from it all. Jay's experience of The Repair Shop and meeting Mary Berry … and more!Here are some highlights:How ‘Out of the Dark' Came To Be. “My ex-wife Jade and I were running the charity called ‘Street Dreams' which was basically about getting young people away from crime, so it was a fresh approach to old problems. The council, police, social services, fire services would come to us and say, ‘we've got a hot spot area where young people are committing crime and we need you to go in there and sort it out.' Funding started drying up and we needed to continue working with those young people. One of the things that we operated when we started running all these charities, it was a case of working yourself out of a job which basically means that you work with a group of young people who are disengaged, then they become engaged and where do they go with all that energy? Then we employ them, and then they start to become the new youth leaders. So,as we wanted to continue with these young people, Jade came up with the wonderful idea of restoring old furniture.”“About 50% of them have gone into restoration or furthering their education. They've gone on to upholstery, restoration, project management, interior design and things like that. A lot of them have just gone on to normal jobs. I think with the group of young people who used to have them just getting out of bed was a bonus, them not smoking or doing some low-level crime is a winner.” Why investing in Young People through Restoration Matters.  “One of the things that I love about restoration is it brings so many elements for people who have been put on, let's say the scrap-heap. If you go into the educational system, if you don't get the A star plus or you don't get the grades, you're really gonna amount to nothing, is kind of what they're saying to you. If you get the A-star, you're going to college or university, have 2.5 kids and live happily ever after, you've got a brilliant job. Whereas the way that I look at things, I look at sustainability as a whole. Some people look at it as: you've got to separate your plastics from your paper and your glass and this and that. Sustainability includes people and these young people need to have something put into them that allows them to see themselves as sustainable and as a valued member of society, so that's what it was all about.”  Why Future Proofing is so Important.“I think people and the planet are very important to me, especially when it comes to community work. I worked in the community sector and really there is no profit in the work, you're doing it for the love, and you're kind of doing it for people you're never gonna see. So I have this kind of way of functioning now. I'm here on this planet to influence people I'm never gonna meet, and that means that I have to leave a legacy, create something that can be taken over by someone else or re-designed by someone else, and then they would say, ‘Well, I kind of got that idea from that person, but this is what I've done with the idea. And that to me is what future-proofing is all about. Let's make sure that the future is bright for people who are not here yet, because if we continue the way that we're continuing on this planet, we're not gonna leave them a pretty problem. It's gonna be quite messy.” Learn more & connect with JayhereCheck out Jay's book ‘Making It'here Books we mentioned:My new book, Broken: Mending and Repair in a throwaway world is now available on pre-order here on BookShop.Org or on AmazonThe foreword has been written by Jay Blades and this book celebrates 25 artists, curators, designers and makers who have rejected the allure of the fast, disposable and easy in favour of the patina of use, the stories of age and the longevity of care and repair. Accompanying these profiles, six in-depth essays explore the societal, cultural and environmental roles of mending in a throwaway world. Spread the Word:Please share Circular with Katie Treggiden with wild abandon — with your friends, family, and fellow designer-makers or wherever interesting conversations about creativity happen in your world! If you love what you're listening to, show me some love by following Circular with Katie Treggiden in this app and leaving a review.

If you're listening to this, chances are that you have seen a snowflake, or perhaps a few billion covering the streets or ski slopes. Maybe you've even caught one on your tongue. But despite being such a common part of nature, until recently, snowflake formation largely remained a mystery.Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Kenneth Libbrecht, a renowned expert in the field of snowflake physics.Dr. Libbrecht is a professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology, where he has been studying the mysteries of snowflakes for more than two decades. His research has helped to demystify some of the longstanding questions surrounding these complex and beautiful crystals. Dr. Libbrecht and his work has been featured on NPR, Scientific American, The New York Times, and many other publications. In addition to his work as a physicist, Dr. Libbrecht has authored multiple books about snowflakes, had his photos featured on US Postal Service stamps, and even served as a snowflake consultant for the popular Disney movie Frozen. In my conversation with Dr. Libbrecht, we explore the world of snowflake crystals, learn how they form and why they usually have 6 sides. Dr. Libbrecht discusses his discoveries and his innovative lab, and provides a primer for finding and photographing snowflakes. We also talk about snow in general, such as why some snow is light and fluffy, while other snow is heavy and dense, why a particular bacterium plays a role in artificial snow production at ski resorts, and what "diamond dust" is.And if you do nothing else, check out Dr. Libbrecht and his lab in the Veritasium video called “Why are snowflakes like this?” - it's fascinating. You can find it on YouTube, or linked in the show notes.And if you are a naturalist stuck inside in the winter, or visiting somewhere cold, take a moment and go outside, catch some flakes, and see what you've been missing. And be sure to check Dr. Libbrecht's website, snowcrystals.com, for photos, facts, science, projects and more!Get ready to learn about stellar dendrites!FULL SHOW NOTESLINKSPeople and OrganizationsSnowcrystals.com - Dr. Libbrecht's websiteUSPS Snowflake Stamps featuring Dr. Libbrecht's photosVeritasium Episode with Dr. Libbrecht - a must see!Books and Other ThingsKenneth Libbrecht's books on AmazonThe following music was used for this media project:Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/9616-spellboundLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist website: https://brianholtzmusic.com Support the show

Take a look at the article HERE and tell me what you think. Good conversation - persistent and consistent conversation about these hard topics IS how we will make progress and move the needle. I do know that this is a lonely and helpless grief and that we need support, tools and other grievers to get through this successfully so, I have also included this LINK that takes you to the signing up space to get started in our very own "Picking up the Pieces" Community HERE.

Today I talk with the Hicks FAMILY - of #HicksStrong.​ Today I have a conversation with Jolee, Mike, and Sienna. If you have lost a child to suicide, a sibling to suicide or a family or friend in the military to suicide this episode will speak loudly to you! The Hicks are a warm and fun-loving family who are fiercely loyal and connected.  Just three years ago, with one child in the Navy and the other in college, things were looking up for all of them ​On February 11th, 2019 they received the call that would forever change their lives. The person on the other end said “Mr. and Mrs. Hicks your son was found dead this morning”. Their hearts were shattered that day. They do not want other families to know this pain. They do not want our service members to feel alone…#HicksStrong is here to help!There is an overwhelming stigma, across all branches, regarding mental health in the military.Service members feel they cannot talk about their mental health difficulties without losing rank or being dishonorably discharged.They are being told to suck it up, being mistreated by their chain of command, and being mocked by peers.The mission is to SAVE MILITARY LIVES! - #HicksStrong Inc. aims to do this by linking veteran & active duty service members with confidential mental health therapists via telehealth and we cover up to 24 sessions.Believe in what they do and want to SUPPORT or DONATE - do so HEREFind a HUG MUG or other EVENT near you HERE Find ALL things HicksStrong HERE_______________________________________________  My website "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is LIVE and that means my different SUPPORT SPACE Options are available and much more will be coming in 2022Go DIRECTLY to my SUPPORT page here where yo9u will find ALL of the ways to connect and find supportMy first two books (tools I am creating for you!) in the "Facing Life After Suicide" series are available on AmazonThe website again is  at www.theleftoverpieces.comIf you, or someone you know, is struggling  with suicidal thoughts PLEASE reach out:The National Suicide Lifeline is there for youIN a crisis you can also TEXT--->TEXT the word "HOME" to 741741 in the USAin Canada TEXT 686868in the UK TEXT 85258And Grievers, I am always here.

Today I go "down the rabbit hole" for Part 3 in a 3 part series called "What has helped me the most" (after the loss of my son by suicide). I know that I have talked about these topics before - and I will again - because we need to hear them often, to be reminded - to be empowered - to SURVIVE!The first Part 1 (Ep 2 Season 3) addressed Community and Support. Part 2 was about Tools & Practices.  These topics are the cornerstones for survival, hope, and (eventually) healing in this life after suicide loss. Please do respond if you would like to add to these or have any input that I might include.Today in the final part - part 3, I talk about 'Time & Self Care' and as I say in this episode, they are both relative AND relevant in this life after loss. Time can feel like it stands still and flies by all at once. Self-care is both necessary and yet often completely evades us. I hope to offer some insight and maybe some ideas that will help you in your own journey to rebuild after your loss by suicide. I have included a few links, one of which takes you to the signing up space to get started in our very own "Picking up the Pieces" Community.

Today, I sit down with two survivors left behind after losing their loved ones to suicide. Debbie lost her father Don 12 years ago, and Adrianna's brother Luc died in May of 2017 - both died by suicide with a firearm. These ladies are both a part of the "Everytown for Gun Safety" organization - although in different roles and capacities. Their stories are meaningful and deserve an attentive listen. Today we discuss:Sibling AND Parent Suicide LossAdvocacy for Gun Safety as it relates to suicides Gun Safety initiatives, ERPO's, Education and more being done to help reduce death by firearmWhy working with other survivors like yourself, finding a COMMUNITY,  is helpful in healingYou can find "EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY" HERE to Volunteer (if you are not a survivor) Text - READY to 64433Want to GET INVOLVED?

She also identifies as a survivor of gun violence - she lost her father to firearm suicide.Adriana Pentz (She/Hers, Sleepy Hollow, NY): Adriana is a Fellow with the Everytown Survivor Network.
